A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video by Joy Kong, MD titled 'How to Stay Fit WITHOUT Counting Calories' (uploaded March 21, 2025). Speakers discuss maintaining leanness without calorie restriction, attributing it to high activity levels including marathon training and long-term use of the P90X workout program (speaker notes starting P90X around 1998).

Questions this video answers

1998 (speaker: 'I think it was 1998 when I first began doing that').

So you're pretty lean and you don't restrict calorie. How do you approach what you eat?
Well, I'm super active, which contributes to why I'm so lean. There's different times during my year that I'll be doing marathon training, so I'll be doing a lot of high mile running. Most of the time. I still do P90X, which is an extreme workout program from the 90s, I believe. I think it was 1998 when I first began doing that, and I've been doing that ever since.
That's more of a strength resistance training, right?
Yeah, it's a mix. There's strength resistance days and then there are cardio days and they're intermixed. It's a 90 day program, but there's 14 days worth of different workouts. So you're not doing the same workout two days in a row. And I always tell people, look, if you can stick with it for at least two weeks, your body will adjust, it'll get acclimated to that, and then it won't be any big deal and you'll love the results that you see.
